He can get a court order, but until he does, you do not have to. As far as your boyfriend wanting to adopt the baby, the biological father has to sign his parental rights away before adoption will take place.
If there is a will, there is probably a probate case in the local court. The file will contain a copy of the will (if not the original).
If you are named in the will, the person administering the will (called the executor of the estate) has a legal obligation to give you what is promised, if at all possible. The clerk at the probate office will tell you who the executor is, if you ask. If you do not get what you are owed, you need a lawyer.
If the will has not been filed, you need a lawyer.
no, i would rather seek child support than to let my child stay to his or her father, and that would be my right as a mother to take care of my children. Children needs the rearing of a mother while they were young, and i cant work well if i cant be able to see my child everyday.

As for the last part of the above answer, it's not about you, it's about what's best for the children. Whether or not you can "work well" is not the responsibility of your children; it's yours, as the adult and the mother.
If you are not stable, or in a position to take proper care of your children, then you owe it to them to let their father do it until you can. You must feel their father can provide a stable home for them, otherwise I don't think you would have even considered letting them stay with him temporarily, would you?
There is no shame in needing time to get stable and get on your feet, it happens to many divorced parents. A divorce is hard on everyone, but it's hard on the children, too. And that's all the more reason they need to be in the most stable home and environment possible.
You need to look at the bigger picture here. Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you don't do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably not a very pleasant place for any of you, don't you think? Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably in a much better place, don't you think? And with your children living with their father while you get your life together, you will be able to do that much sooner than if you don't. Again, you need to look at the bigger picture.
Just the act of even asking this question shows you love your children and want what's best for them, and I applaud you for that. I suggest you talk to your ex husband about temporary custody, just until you do get on your feet. If it would make you more comfortable, you can even have your attorney draw up papers stating that it is only temporary, just until you get on your feet and can give your children the care they deserve.
Your children have two parents, and they need both parents in their lives. By letting your ex care for the kids temporarily, that doesn't mean you won't get to spend time with them, it only means he will give them a stable home while you are getting your life together. It also means they will realize you love them enough to not be selfish, and to do what is best for them.
How does the mother get her children from their father?
Generally, they would go take the father to court and claim for custody (protection/safeguarding) over the children.
What do you do if your kids father refuses to give your child back to you after his visitation?
If you have a court order of the custody agreement you can call the police.
I think it depends on the state. While most states' divorce laws are similar, they aren't completely the same. However, I do think that, in all states, the custodial parent has the responsibility to make sure the kids get to the non-custodial parent's house for visitation, provided that the NCP is a good parent that doesn't pose a threat to or abuse the children. Before withholding visitation, if something the NCP does (i.e. not strapping the child in the car right) worries the CP, then the CP should talk to their attorney to see what theor options are. Withholding visitation without legal backing can come back to bite the CP who does so in the butt.
How often does a good mother lose her children to a father who is a sociopath and fools the judge?
It happens more and more based on the information from various articles and websites. Indeed, women are more focused on themselves than on the family thus they lose the most precious gift God could give to them. Unfortunately, fooling a judge is not very easy as they meet 100s of couples in the same situation as you are. If you have taken care of your children the way a mother is supposed to, then you will not lose the custody, but like I said, it is not anymore the priority of today's women especially if they are more focused by being superstars or CEOs. Now, I believe that the definition of "GOOD" mother is very vague, So I advice you to check around you what a GOOD mother means, but dont ask your mother. Good luck Sayang..
Yes she can.
What if a unwed mom give the child your last name but you did not sign birth certificate?
A mother can name her child anything she wants, even giving him or her a totally unrelated last name -- signature or no signature. If the mom is Smith and the father is Jones, the mother can name the child with Smith or Jones or even Mongo as the official last name. However, though you didn't sign the birth certificate (and no matter what the last name choice she makes) this does not absolve the biological father from responsibility. If you believe it is not yours, take a paternity test. If the name is the main concern, there is simply nothing you can do about it.
Can a loving mom swab a different child than her own to keep an alleged father and abusive man away?
Good question...but no you cannot. When you go for the paternity test, the lab technician takes a picture of you and the baby.
The child's last name isn't relevant. However, once you signed the birth certificate, you became the child's father until/unless a court rules otherwise and, yes, you could get visitation.
Will you need to file anything with the court if your exhusband loses him job?
A request with child support enforcement needs to be made to modify the order. This can be done by either parent.
How do you submit your answer in a custody case?
First, you should be represented by an attorney if you want the best results possible. The attorney will answer the complaint for you. If you can't afford an attorney you should visit the family court promptly and ask if there is an advocate who could advise you how to file your answer.

Why does it matter whose coverage is first - just turn the bills in and let the Insurance Companies handle it?
AnswerTHE INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR OF THE ACCOUNT. EXAMPLE IN MY CASE I DO NOT HAVE ANY INSURANCE INFORMATION TO GIVE DOCTORS ON MY EX'S INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE WILL NOT CONTACT HIS INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN LOOK UP THE INFO THROUGH A PROVIDER CONTACT AND GET ALL THE INFO. THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN INSURANCE CARD FROM THE ACTUAL PATIENT BEFORE THEY CAN FILE IT THROUGH ANOTHER INSURANCE.
AnswerIn CA check out this law REQUIRING Insurance Companies to provide information to the custodial parent
AnswerI had to do this also with my ex my kids father all he had to do was give me the insurance name and the phone numbers I needed and I gave them to the doctor they can go from there or he can call with the information and give it to them his self if he is in state and lives near by he can also take it in but your children do have to be on his insurance policy for them to be covered if he is refusing I would take him to court for child support if you haven't already or some type of support for helping with medical its both parents responsibility to have the insurance on the child and usually the one who does not have custody insurance pays first
AnswerThe father's policy would be prime under either the birthday or the sex rule.4.1
If you leave the us to mexico will they still enforce child support?
Absolutely they will. Keep in mind, if the other parent goes to court because you haven't paid child support, you'll be in contempt of court, which only works against you. If you ever come back to the US, you;ll be arrested at the border.
You can count on that.
Can you mother take everything away from you?
While a mother can have a significant influence on your life and may impose restrictions or make decisions that affect you, she cannot take everything away from you in a literal sense. Personal autonomy, feelings, and certain relationships remain outside her control. Ultimately, your perspective, choices, and resilience play a crucial role in how you navigate challenges. It's important to communicate openly and seek support if you feel overwhelmed.
If a mother moves out of state with the kids can the father make her drive halfway for visitation?
He can't force her to do it, but he can request that a judge order it, and in fact he can request that the judge order that she be responsible for *all* transportation/transportation expenses, on the basis that she was the one who created the distance.
Any order for withholding for child support must be issued by a court or State child support agency pursuant to an order for support.
Can the ministry take a child away from a good mother if she uses drugs?
You haven't defined "the ministry". The government can take a child away from a parent who engages in drug abuse. A substance abuser is not a good parent. Their drug abuse clouds their judgment and causes them to neglect their child's needs. They cannot monitor their child's safety and their children usually face too much responsibility for their age. The state can take custody and place the child in a safe environment.
You should be aware that it is not the actual drug use alone that is the issue but the effect it has on the parent's ability to raise the child. If your drug use is reported to the courts or Child Protective Services you would be ordered to submit to a drug test. You would test positive. The court would intrude into your life and take legal control of your child.
This is not legal advice. For legal advice relevant to your particular situation please consult a qualified local attorney.
Custody and Placement are two different things entirely.
Simply put, placement merely refers to the place where the child resides.
Custody is the legal right and obligation to the oversight of the child. Joint custody means that both parents have rights to the child (access to medical records, etc.)
They have legal rights to be able to retrieve their possessions. You can contact an attorney through Legal Aid to help you with this if you need the law on your side.
